Hi all,

I have a 2002 WRX (completely stock) and was just wondering if anyone in the Tri-State or Lancaster areas did open source tuning? I was thinking about getting a Cobb AP v1 and having Phatbotti tune the car using that, but he's up near CT. Anyone more local?

Thanks!

Reds82 · 06-18-2011, 10:30 PM

Pretty much any of the vendors on here that tune will you have area1320 in easton pa and r/t tuning and lansdale pa and turbotek tuning. Have had turbotek and area1320 both tune cars and would have either one tune again and never heard anything but good about r/t tuning.

aifan27 · 06-18-2011, 11:02 PM

Yeah but how many will tune with the AP v1? I thought most of the licensed tuners for Cobb only tune the v2...also, isn't Turbotek up in MA?

Reds82 · 06-19-2011, 12:13 AM

Well you also asked about open source they do that and r/t is a cobb tuner if you want to do that

I wasn't aware...I just PMed him to confirm. Thanks for the info!

Good luck getting anyone to touch the ap1.

We do quite a few tunes os per week and can definately help you out.

DaveSTi · 06-19-2011, 06:40 PM

Not sure who still tunes the AP V1. Grab street tuner for it and maybe Ryan can help you out.

Erik@R/TTuning · 06-19-2011, 08:30 PM

It is pretty tough to find anyone that will touch the V1 these days.

You will be hard pressed to find a better Subaru tuner than Andy Brahy and he can only be found at R/T Tuning.

Honest_Bob · 06-20-2011, 04:26 AM

Really!? Whats the reasoning behind this? I figured the V1 would always be a cheaper alternative.

RyanG · 06-20-2011, 09:34 AM

lacks the features and support of the newer units. Its old technology

Several months ago Cobb offered a trade in program for the AP1 to AP2. That was their way of offering support to the guys who bought the AP1's and giving them a chance to upgrade. Once the trade in program ended COBB pretty much stopped supporting the AP1's.

We prefer tuning Cobb systems due to the features and stability of the accessports. However we do offer OS tuning as a cheaper alternative. Feel free to contact us if you would like to make an appt.

still do it ;)

Vince@R/TTuning · 06-20-2011, 04:39 PM

^^^^ Good find...Last time I talked to them they did it for one of my customers but they made it seem like the deal ended and they were doing the cust a favor...

Either way if you call and say you have an AP1 and you have a few tech questions....they wont even entertain ya...lol

RyanG · 06-20-2011, 08:07 PM

Lol im sure they dont even want to be bothered with that old brick anymore haha.

DJHowie99 · 07-11-2011, 07:14 AM

anyone tune UTEC anymore for an 02? Used to have a buddy do it but we have parted ways.

**Ender81** · 07-11-2011, 08:01 AM

PSIPROformance · 07-11-2011, 12:46 PM
